Mad Max Furiosa actor Quaden Bayles says he's 'a whole different person' four years after viral bullying video Quaden Bayles has had his share of battles but the day he emerged from a post-apocalyptic contraption after an epic road war in the Mad Max universe was one of his finest triumphs.
Before long, Brisbane-based Quaden was the War Pup, in charge of engaging the lethal "bommy knockers" at the back of the war rig as he hurtled across a dystopian wasteland. "The video changed me a lot but what changed me the most was the acting," he says. "I'm always going to be Quaden and I'm always going to have the same vibe, the same me. But when it comes to that industry, I'm a whole different person.When Quaden had the call up from George Miller he hadn't heard of Mad Max. Now he has his own trailer.
The stories tumble out of Quaden now. Like the first time he saw Hemsworth and sidled over to say, "What's up, Chris?" Or how he had his own trailer, with people coming by to let him know lunch was ready. Or describing the bommy knockers — "big, big wrecking balls, with all the spikes on it and they were really fast spinning" — that the War Pup controls.
It began positively. Actor Hugh Jackman posted an encouraging video, NRL superstar Johnathan Thurston got in contact and people from around the world offered love and support. She credits much of her strength, and Quaden's, to the staunch role models in her Indigenous family. Her late father, Tiga Bayles, with whom Quaden had a strong bond, was a prominent Aboriginal activist who, with his mother, Maureen Watson, set up Sydney's Radio Redfern.
He asks this of parents: "As your kids get older, you should tell them, 'When you go out in the world or the streets, there might be new people that you've never seen before and they might look different … don't stare. Don't always look back. Just be nice, you know'."George Miller can see parallels between the battles Quaden has had to fight and the message at the core of Mad Max films.
